Daves pictures motivated me to post a couple. I still get to hunt big stuff occasionally and had a decent year this year. Killed a nice buck deer with a bow. A nice antelope with a bow. And a pretty good elk with a rifle. A couple of examples. [ October 28, 2016, 06:50 PM: Message edited by: Leonard ]

Awesome !!!! The high point of my season has been a coyote with a recurve and a couple of Traditional tournament trophies. Hope you had help packing that elk out.

Unusual points on Wapiti left beam, BTW.

I'm a bit envious myself. I've never hunted elk but I have killed a couple of very nice bucks. A California 6 point mulie and a beautiful Washington state 5 point whitetail. A big double shovel caribou out of King Salmon, Alaska and a trophy class Mt Goat in SE Alaska And not a single picture to show of any of it.

Interesting, Moe. I have never focused on cameras and hero shots. Sometimes, upon reflection, I regret it.
If I had photos of coyotes alone, we would get tired of the monotony in a hurry.
But, like some of us, tend to drift away from big game, for several reasons, the bureaucratic bullshit being a big reason, preference point deception, etc.
Good hunting. El Bee

I am the same way on pictures. I rarely even think to take a picture. My brother however is the exact opposite he makes sure he gets pictures everytime we are hunting. I am glad he does in some regards its fun to look back at them over the years.

After looking at Dave's buck and Cals trophies, I thought I'd add some levity, and show what we average Joes pop during deer season. Do want to mention Leonard, this little buck fell to the .17 mach4 this morning....one well placed shot at around 80 yards. Damn photobucket....I cant get image to post?

I am an amateur photographer but when I shot my first big buck I couldn't really afford a camera. I have no excuse for not taking a picture of the whitetail. It was massive, tho.
The mountain goat was a hunt out of the PA12 float plane. The lake was on the border of Canada and Alaska and between two glaciers. We slept in the plane overnight because you can't fly and hunt the same day. We had to climb up 3000 ft of very dangerous mountain. After killing the goats, there were 2 of us, we had to get them down. By the time we got back to the lake I didn't even think to take a picture. I was exhausted.
The caribou was out on the tundra. I spent a good portion of a day chasing ptarmigan around the lake. It dropped down to 20 degrees one night and the lake froze. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to fly out. When we bagged our caribou, there were 3 of us, I went take pa picture with my Canon A1 and the battery was dead. Damn!
I'm kinda camera shy anyway but I do have a few hero shots. Since hunting waterfowl was my next biggest interest behind calling I have more of those than anything else. Here's one from a day of hunting at Tule Lake years ago.

More recently. Taken near Umatilla, Oregon. A morning hunt for 2. 8 geese and 14 mallards.

Vic, that could be a Coues? In which case, it's a trophy.
Moe, never had a taste for waterfowl, especially ducks. You?
Good hunting. El Bee
